Adjusting the output current via NFC The NFC Interface allows wireless communication with the LED Driver. This interface offers the option to write configuration and to read configuration, errors and events with the companionSUITE. A correct communication between the LED Driver and the NFC antenna can only be guaranteed if the Driver is directly placed on the antenna. Any material placed between the LED Driver and the NFC antenna can cause a deterioration of the communication quality. We recommend the use of following NFC antennas: www.tridonic.com/nfc-readers NFC is compliant with ISO/IEC 15963 standard. Output voltage The output voltage range results from the selected current. More information can be found in the data sheet (see Reference list, p. 60). The output current can be adjusted via NFC, DALI or ready2mains.

Compatibility between LED module and LED Driver
There are two stages involved in the check for compatibility between the LED module and the LED Driver.
_ The requirements for operating together can be checked by comparing the data sheets
_ Subsequent practical tests can ensure that there are no unexpected problems during actual operation
Comparison of data sheet values with a 5-point guideline
Different values for the two devices need to be considered when comparing the data sheets. The following table shows which values
are involved and which requirements they must meet.

(1) Current 700 mA = 700 mA _ To produce a luminous flux of 3,000 lm, the two LED modules
must be operated with a forward current of 700 mA.
_ The LED Driver can be set so that it delivers precisely this value
of 700 mA as the output current.
1400 mA >= 721 mA _ The output current of the LED Driver including tolerances (700
mA + 3 % = 721 mA) is less than or equal to the max. DC forward
current of the LED module (1400 mA).
(2) Voltage 87.2 V > 45 V _ The voltage range of the LED module (2 x 43.6 V = 87.2 V; 2 x
49.8 V = 99.6 V) lies completely within the voltage range of the

Installation notes
I NOTICE
The cabling, wiring and mounting for a LED Driver varies depending on the design and manufacturer of the LED module.
The following description should therefore not be viewed as comprehensive installation instructions but merely as important
general information.
To obtain further information, proceed as follows:
_ Read the documentation provided by the lamp manufacturer. Follow the guidelines and instructions of the lamp
manufacturer!
_ Observe all relevant standards. Follow the instructions given in the standards!
Safety information
½ WARNING!
_ Comply with the general safety instructions (see General safety instructions, p. 5) !
_ To avoid failures due to ground faults protect the wiring against mechanical loads from sharp-edged metal parts (e.g. cable
penetrations, cable holders, metal frames, etc.
_ LED Drivers from Tridonic are protected for a maximum of 48 hour against overvoltage of up to 320 V. Make sure that the
LED Driver is not exposed to overvoltages for long periods!
_ LED Drivers of the LCO NF C PRE3 series from Tridonic have type of protection IP 20. Comply with the requirements for this
type of protection!
...
c 21 / 61Manual LCO NF C PRE3 | 07-2020 | 1.1 | en Installation notes Function of the earth terminal The earth connection is conducted as protection earth (PE). The LED Driver can be earthed via earth terminal or metal housing (if device has metal housing). If the LED Driver will be earthed, protection earth (PE) has to be used. There is no earth connection required for the functionality of the LED Driver. Earth connection is recommended to improve following behaviour. _ Electromagnetic interferences (EMI) _ LED glowing at standby _ Transmission of mains transients to the LED output In general, it is recommended to earth the LED Driver if the LED module is mounted on earthed luminaire parts respectively heat sinks and thereby representing a high capacity against earth. Avoiding residual LED glow on standby Residual LED glow on standby may occur as a result of capacitive leakage currents from the LED module onto earthed luminaire parts (such as the heat sink). This mainly affects high-efficiency LED systems with large surface areas installed in luminaires with protection class 1. The topology has been improved so that residual LED glow can be virtually eliminated by earthing the devices. I NOTICE If the LED Driver cannot be earthed or if earthing is not desired, residual LED glow can be minimised by adequate insulation (for example by using heat-conducting double-sided insulation foil). Avoiding the transfer of mains transients to the LED output The transfer of mains transients to the LED output presents a problem for many LED Driver topologies currently on the market, and TRIDONIC devices may be affected. Voltage peaks at the input of the LED Driver may be transferred to the output of the device where they lead to differences in potential between the LED output and earthed luminaire parts. These differences in potential may result in flashovers if the insulation is inadequate or if the creepage and clearance distances are too small. Flashovers will cause the LED module to fail. Earthing the LED Driver attenuates voltage peaks and reduces the likelihood of flashovers. The precise degree of attenuation depends on the capacitance of the LED module with respect to earth. If voltages at the output are higher than 0.5 kV, it is mentioned in the data sheet. c 22 / 61

I NOTICE
Irrespective of whether the LED Driver is earthed or not, LED modules must be insulated in accordance with the requirements of
the luminaire protection class. Improved insulation of the LED module can also reduce the likelihood of flashovers.

c 23 / 61Manual LCO NF C PRE3 | 07-2020 | 1.1 | en Installation notes Routing the wires Tests I NOTICE The performance of the prescribed tests and compliance with relevant standards are the responsibility of the luminaire manufacturer. The following descriptions merely indicate the most important tests and are no substitute for a full research of the relevant standards. Insulation and dielectric strength testing of luminaires LED Driver for lamps are sensitive to high-voltage transients. This must be taken into consideration when subjecting luminaires to routine testing during manufacture. According to IEC 60598-1 Annex Q (for information only!) and ENEC 303-Annex A, each luminaire should be subjected to an insulation test for 1 second at 500 V DC. The test voltage is applied between the linked phase/neutral conductor terminal and the protective earth terminal. The insulation resistance must be at least 2 megaohm. As an alternative to measuring the insulation resistance, IEC 60598-1 Annex Q describes a dielectric strength test at 1500 V AC (or 1.414 x 1,500 V DC). To avoid damaging LED Driver, this dielectric strength test should be performed exclusively for type testing. This test should certainly not be used for routine testing. I NOTICE Tridonic recommends performing an insulation test because a dielectric strength test may damage the device irreparably. Type testing Type testing of the luminaire is performed according to IEC 60598-1 Section 10. The wiring for protection class 1 luminaires is tested at a voltage of 2xU + 1,000 V. In order not to overload the LED Driver all the inputs and outputs of the LED Driver are connected to one another. Uout is used for measuring the voltage for luminaires with LED Driver with U out > 250 V: For Uout 480 V the voltage for the type test is 2000 V. (Routine testing is always performed at 500 V DC) Wiring I NOTICE The wiring procedure is device specific. Further information about wiring, wire cross sections and the length of stripped off insulation can be found in the data sheet. c 24 / 61
Manual LCO NF C PRE3 | 07-2020 | 1.1 | en Installation notes Wiring guidelines _ The cables should be run separately from the mains connections and mains cables to ensure good EMC conditions. _ The LED wiring should be kept as short as possible to ensure good EMC. The max. secondary cable length is 2 m (4 m circuit), this applies for LED output as well as for temperature sensor. _ Depending on the design of the luminaire it may be possible to improve the radio interference properties by earthing the device at the earth connection. _ The LED Driver has no inverse-polarity protection on the secondary side. Wrong polarity can damage LED modules with no inverse-polarity protection. Wiring the plug-in terminal _ Use solid wire or stranded wire with the correct cross-section _ Strip off correct length of insulation; you may need to twist the tool slightly _ If stranded wire is used: push onto the terminal from above to be able to insert the wire _ Insert the bare end into the terminal Detaching the plug-in terminal _ Push onto the terminal from above to release the wire _ Pull out the wire at the front External fuse for DC operation The internal fuse of an LED Driver is not rated for DC operation. Because of this, an additional external fuse must be used if an LED Driver is operated on a DC network. Proceed as follows: _ Connect the external fuse to the line labeled "+" which is between the DC power supply and the input terminal of the LED Driver _ Only use an external fuse with suitable parameters. For LED Drivers with a power of 25-150 watts the following values are recommended: _ Rated voltage: 250 V _ DC rated power: 1 A - 3 A Time-Lag (SLO-Blo®) Tridonic recommends the following external fuse: _ 477 Series, 5 × 20 mm, Time-Lag (Slo-Blo®) Fuse Rating 3.15 A c 25 / 61
Manual LCO NF C PRE3 | 07-2020 | 1.1 | en Installation notes Maximum loading of circuit breakers Importance of maximum loading A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch that protects an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Unlike a fuse that must be replaced if it triggers, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) and used further. Circuit breakers are available in different sizes and with different technical data. The inrush current is a short increased peak current that occurs when an electronic control gear is switched on. In electrical installations, numerous control gear are connected to one circuit breaker. The maximum loading of a circuit breaker indicates how many control gear can be connected to the circuit breaker without triggering the circuit breaker because of the summation of the different inrush currents. The value is calculated through simulation programs based on the circuit breakers characteristic. Information about the maximum loading can be found in Tridonic data sheets.

chronoSTEP V3
Description
In the outdoor lighting and street lighting sector, it often makes sense to dim the lighting level during the night hours in order to save
energy. The chronoSTEP v3 function is a tool that makes this easy to do.
The LED Driver automatically measures the switch-on and switch-off times of the lighting installation over the past three days. The
switch-on and switch-off times are typically the times at which the sun sets and rises. The midpoint of these two reference points is
the time referred to as Virtual Midnight. To allow immediate operation in the first night, it is possible to program the Virtual Midnight
manually.
The overall time between switch-ON and switch-OFF is called On-Time.
In chronoSTEP V3 there is a total of two profiles:
_ Factory default: chronoSTEP deactivated (light output set to 100 %)
_ Profile 1: user-defined programmable profile
Profiles are defined by different pairs of reduction times and reduction levels. A maximum of eight such reduction time/level pairs are
available. Creating profiles with less than eight such pairs is also possible.

Manual LCO NF C PRE3 | 07-2020 | 1.1 | en DALI DALI Description DALI standard I NOTICE LCO NF C PRE3 devices support the new DALI standard V2 (according to EN 62386-102). DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is an interface protocol for digital communication between electronic lighting equipment. The DALI standard was developed by Tridonic together with renowned manufacturers of operating and control equipment. Today, these manufacturers belong to the DALI Activity Group which promotes the use and further development of DALI. The DALI standard is defined in IEC 62386. A test procedure standardized by the DALI Activity Group ensures compatibility between products from different manufacturers. Tridonic products have undergone this test and meet all the requirements. This is indicated by the logo of the DALI Activity Group on the device. The agreement by the lighting industry to adopt a common protocol has opened up a virtually unlimited number of options. With the right choice of individual DALI components an extremely wide range of requirements can be met, from operating a simple light switch to lighting management systems for entire office complexes with thousands of light sources. DALI in Action DALI offers a lot of possibilities: _ DALI line: 64 control gear can be grouped to a line _ DALI groups: Every control gear can be attributed into 16 groups _ Addressability: All control gear are individually addressable _ Grouping: Possible without complicated rewiring _ Programmability: Individual programmability makes it possible to use functions which transcend the DALI standard _ Monitoring: Easily possible thanks to status feedback _ Wiring: Simple wiring with five pole standard cables and a cable length of max. 300 metres _ Wiring: Polarity-free control lines can be used for mains and control lines _ Wiring: Multiple wiring possibilities (star, series and mixed wiring) _ Unaffected by interruptions: All luminaires receive the same, unaffected digital signal and dimming level _ Similar light level from first to last luminaire Technical data of a DALI line: _ DALI voltage: 9.5 V - 22.4 DC _ Maximum DALI system current: max. 250 mA _ Data transfer rate: 1200 Baud _ Maximum line length: up to 300 m (for 1,5 mm2) c 44 / 61

ready2mains
ready2mains
Description
ready2mains uses the mains cable to transmit information: easily, reliably and professionally.
ready2mains can be used to configure both drivers with a separate communication interface as well as fixed output drivers. The
configuration saves time and is very flexibel. ready2mains reduces production costs and installation costs and also reduces possible
sources of error.
Configuration
The ready2mains interface can be used to configure the main parameters of LED Drivers via the mains wiring (LED output current,
CLO and DC level). These parameters can be adjusted either via ready2mains-capable configuration software or directly via the
ready2mains programmer (output current only). Further information can be found in the Leaflet ready2mains (see Reference list, p.
60).

DC recognition
DC recognition
Description
In emergency light systems with central battery supply the DC recognition function uses the input voltage to detect that emergency
mode is in place. The LED Driver then automatically switches to DC mode and dims the light to the defined DC level. Without DC
recognition different and more complex solutions need to be applied in order to detect emergency mode.
LED Drivers of the LCO NF C PRE3 series are factory preset to a DC level of 15 %. This value can be customized.
Further information can be found in the masterCONFIGURATOR manual (see Reference list, p. 60).
I NOTICE
The LED Driver is designed to operate on DC voltage and pulsing DC voltage.
In DC recognition connected sensors are ignored.

Dimming on DC
Dimming on DC
Description
If Dimming on DC is activated the requirements of the DC recognition function are ignored. Even if DC is detected, the LED Driver
continues to behave as in AC mode:
_ The present dimming level is retained
_ An emergency light level defined for the DC recognition function (DC level) is ignored
_ Control signals via DALI and DSI continue to be executed
Commissioning
½ WARNING!
If Dimming on DC is activated, the emergency mode is not recognised. The device no longer automatically switches to the
emergency light level.
Make sure that if Dimming on DC is activated an appropriate dimming level is selected for the emergency lighting mode.
Please also note the following:
_ Dimming on DC may only be activated by trained personnel
_ A security code must be entered before activation
_ The security code is issued only after a consent form has been signed
_ Dimming on DC must not be used in emergency lighting systems according to EN 50172

Intelligent Temperature Guard
Intelligent Temperature Guard
½ WARNING!
The tc temperature is the maximum permitted temperatur in terms of safety. Operating the LED Driver above the permitted t c
temperature is not compliant with relevant standards!
The Intelligent Temperature Guard function does not replace the proper thermal design of the luminaire and does not enable the
lighting to operate for lengthy periods of time in impermissible ambient temperatures.
Description
The Intelligent Temperature Guard function provides protection against temporary thermal overloads. Thermal overload protection is
triggered if the tc temperature is exceeded. This way, instant failure of the LED Driver can be prevented.
The output is reduced in small stages that are generally imperceptible to the user:
_ The temperature is checked every two minutes
_ If the temperature is too high, the output is reduced by about 2 %
_ This process is repeated until the LED Driver returns to its permitted temperature range
_ The maximum output reduction is 50 %
The following table shows the exact behaviour and parameters of the Intelligent Temperature Guard:

reduction
I NOTICE
The temperature at which the power reduction starts is device-specific and depends on the load and the
installation situation.
Depending on the installation situation and the load of the device, the temperatures at different measuring
points of the device may differ. As a result, it may happen that the actual measured temperature is not identical
to the temperature at the tc point.
In any case, the starting point of the power reduction is higher than the predetermined maximum t c
temperature.
For the functioning of the protective function these deviations are not decisive. The starting point of the power
reduction is selected by the device in a way that the protective function starts when the rated life time would
otherwise be significantly affected.
Type of power Power reduction takes place in gradual steps.
